Back in 2004, Nadia Amada won the fifth season of Channel’s Big Brother. Here, she speaks to RadioTimes.com exclusively ahead of the reboot. <\/p>
After five years off air, Big Brother will return to our screens this Autumn<\/a> with a brand new reboot airing on ITV.<\/p>\n AJ Odudu and Will Best have been confirmed as joint hosts<\/a>, and applications have officially closed for this year\u2019s line-up.<\/p>\n While we won\u2019t know who the contestants are until the new season starts, it was rumoured that some former contestants could make an appearance on the revival. ITV has since denied this, stating that the new show will be a civilian series.<\/p>\n However, there is one person who isn\u2019t against the idea of all-star series \u2013 Big Brother season five winner Nadia Almada.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Nadia said it would be an \u201chonour\u201d to go back to the show, adding that she\u2019d like to \u201cshow the kids how it\u2019s done!\u201d<\/p>\n Asked whether she\u2019d return, she explained: \u201cI would because I think, not only do I love the show and I think it\u2019ll be great, but I have a different perspective from 20 years ago and I want to show the kids how it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n \u201cI think I would love to go back to the show because I think it would be an honour to go back and also it\u2019s recognition for us pioneers \u2013 the founders of all the what is reality TV, this great phenomenon that we respected and embodied 100 per cent with our body, mind and soul for the whole 12 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking of the new series, which will run for a shorter period, she continued: \u201cThey\u2019re having it easy as well, because it\u2019s only six weeks for them, so it\u2019s I guess it\u2019s like a pilot test. For us it was three months, which was the best summer I ever had. I had the best time. I was me. I was real. So would I go back again? Of course I would.\u201d<\/p> Nadia would particularly love to go back into the Big Brother house to represent the trans community, saying: \u201cAnd I think more than ever now, with this disgusting narrative that\u2019s been projected in the trans community and within the LGBTQI+ community.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so abhorrent. It\u2019s so dehumanising and it\u2019s so vulgar that we are dissected by body parts and the narrative and the association that is being manufactured towards our community, it\u2019s so revolting. I\u2019m so passionate about that. I think it\u2019s important to come and make presence and that visibility and remind people the existence of a human being, rather than dissecting people to body parts and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n Nadia was speaking to The Radio Times on behalf of ICE 36<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n Big Brother is expected to air on ITV2 and ITV later this year.
